    I've been seeing this place all over Tik Tok so I was excited to finally try. I went around 10:45 am on a Monday and luckily there was no line. I was greeted upon walking in, and I noticed the inside of the establishment isn't the cleanest nor is there much room to dine in. Now for the food, everything looked delicious and fresh. I got the two meat plate with orange chicken and the beef with onions/peppers, half chow mein half fried rice. Everything was soooo tasty it sas some of the best Chinese food I've tried in Las Vegas, no lie. Definitely worth the try

    Orange chicken Mongolian beef fried rice and chow mein

    I happen to be on that side of town and decided to drop in for dinner. I made the mistake of not walking the line before starting my order. Kind of like Panda Express I started off with half noodles half fried rice. I also ordered the Mongolian beef orange chicken and honey shrimp. I probably would've swapped the Mongolian beef for the barbecue pork which I saw after, but overall the Mongolian beef was good orange chicken was good and also the honey shrimp was delicious.. I barely ate the rice and noodles as they both were a little on the bland side. The only knockout have is unless you stick to some of the basic entrees there's an up charge on almost every other item. What started as 1184 three entrees plus one side became 18 dollars because of two up charges and soda. Next time I'll probably just get the white rice and maybe veggies to go along with the entrees which were good.

    The portions here are huge and they pack the containers so full that you definitely get your money's worth. Their orange chicken and fried rice was fresh, hot, and delicious. Staff is also friendly. Highly recommended!

    November 5th Visit around 7pm. Yelp Review #39 of 2025 This business was highly recommended to us, based on generous servings and taste. I will say that this is a place that is definitely going to give you a bang for your buck. They do not mess around when it comes to your servings of chow mein, or fried rice. We tried the Mongolian beef, the Beijing beef, sweet-and-sour pork, walnut shrimp, orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, and salted pork chop. Although I don't eat much pork like I used to, I really enjoyed the sweet-and-sour pork and the pork chop. When I arrived, there was maybe six people ahead of me, but it took me nearly 20 minutes just to get to the front of the line, order my food, and then pay. [I passed by this location about a month ago, we decided to walk out because the line was about 45 minutes long.] Overall, it is slightly loud, but it's more because of the amount of people waiting in line and it is people being unruly. We would definitely go back and try this business again. Although we may not do the sweet-and-sour pork as it was too bready, same with the walnut shrimp.

    What a busy, fast paced environment! The staff seemed a but inattentive, but they might not me accustomed to the fast pace yet. I believe that Dragon Express blew up because of all the influencers that have been posting on social media. Food was okay, chow mein needed some seasoning in my opinion and was a but salty, bbq pork and orange chicken were both saucy, yet flavorful. Beijing beef had subtle heat, but no crunch, and the honey walnut shrimp were big and juicy, but lacking in flavors of sweetness and I also did not get any Walnuts? Pricing seemed fair until most of the side items are an up-charge. It was a nice pleasant day to check this place out, I left full and satisfied.

    Being an LA native, I've been on the hunt for a "ghetto Chinese food" spot. Basically meaning, a place that isn't panda, authentic, greasy, flavorful and big portions... Dragon Express is all that and a bag of chips! The flavors here are so different and delicious! They're so hearty and everything I was looking for! The orange chicken was crunchy and juicy. The beef was even better. Some of the best chewy chow mein noods! The cheese wontons were so fresh and so were the egg rolls. The women there are so sweet. I love the service. They HOOK IT UP! I like how clean it was in there as well. The area isn't the most popular but this is a diamond in the rough and I dream about the day I go back.

    Checking out the hype that everyone was raging about. I have to say its overrated. Can't believe everything you see on social media. The chowmein was salty, the mushroom chicken was salty, the orange chicken was more batter than chicken. The flavor is there, just too salty for my palate. My favorite would have to be the honey walnut shrimp, but they're stingy on that bc I had to pay extra for that side. Because they just open, I might give them another chance to settle in and improve their routine and recipe.

    today i came into the restaurant as soon as they opened because i heard it gets busy quickly. i ordered a (Plate C) 3 choice proteins of sesame chicken, teriyaki chicken, and beef broccoli with rice and chowmein. my total was $14. the fried sesame chicken had like subtle honey garlic flavor which it not bad i just wish there was some spice and the sauce did make the breading soggy. the teriyaki chicken had good flavor and grilled to perfection i personally don't like the amount of cartilage or bones i kept biting into. no complaints about the beef broccoli and i really like how the broccoli had crunch to it. staff was kind, patient, as worked really fast. i'd came back here to try more items and their desserts

    Honey Walnut Shrimp

    The portions are HUGE. This food was SO yummy. Very flavorful. We loved it! The chowmein was honestly perfect. The orange chicken taste like 'authentic' orange chicken. The teriyaki chicken is so good, a little dry. The sesame chicken was also good, and so was the BBQ pork! I would definitely recommend this place. We were literally in awe at how yummy and affordable this food is.

    Went to Dragon Express for the very first time today and boy, I was shocked -- in a good way. It's a corner suite in a strip mall type of location in East Las Vegas. If you're looking for a big sign that says "Dragon Express", you're gonna miss it. Just look for the words "Chinese Fast Food". As you go in, it's like you're transported to a less branded Panda Express. Same lay out and food vessels and all. I went there right before lunch time so it wasn't as crowded as I thought. I was picking up a few plates and as soon as the gentleman plopped the chow mein in the to-go box, my eyes widened due to the sheer amount of food he placed. I even stopped him midway to let him know that I'm getting a combo plate and not just a plate of chow mein. He smiled and said "I know". I felt like such a noob at that point that I apologized to him and told him that it was my first time there. With three combo plates completed and as I head out of the restaurant, I realized the bag felt like it was about 10lbs (it probably was!). Came home and opened the containers and my assumptions were correct. Each plate was about 3lbs of food! Chow mein covered more than half the container, teriyaki chicken filled the rest and then some, then salt and pepper shrimp atop that. Personally, I requested for all veggies instead of the chow mein and fried rice. They had to cook it to order which was nice and much better option if you're trying to cut down on carbs. Overall, this place is great if you have a large family or just really hungry and prefer to spend on low-budget meals. For two entrees with chow mein and fried rice (Plate B) it's only $10.29!! I knocked down 1 star since some of the dishes were a bit oily and some lacking in flavor/salt. It's not a deal breaker, but it didn't wow me enough to give 5 stars. Would definitely go back again!

    Outside- Situated at a mall's corner across the street from a free standing Panda Express-clean, organized, and fast. Staff- Alert, friendly, professional, and quick. Ambiance- Fast paced take-out, clean, well-lit, and organized. Food- Fresh, plentiful, generous, and delicious . -choice of rice, noodles, or both -entrees: choice of 1,2, or 3 Favorites- *Sesame chicken-tastes like sweet & sour with pretty sesame seeds as garnish *Broccoli beef-broccoli still had some crunch while absorbing all that delicious sauce; beef was flavorful & tender *mushroom chicken-plenty of veggies (button mushrooms, zucchini, and onions with the perfect texture) and dark meat chicken Pro-tip: 1-eat off hours 2-there's always a line; even off hours (3-5 people ahead of you) 3-go with a friend (one person look at the items while the other stand in line) 4-These orders are generous servings; we each had 2-3 meals from each of our orders I look forward to coming back.

    2 Plate C : (2) Orange Chicken , Teriyaki Chicken , Beef Broccoli , chowmein Noodle , Fried Rice Honey Walnut Shrimp
    Lei G.

    Ordered through Grub Hub, packed nicely and delivered quickly. The plates were both fully packed with generous portions and amazing flavors! The Mongolian beef was smoky and spicy but very flavorful. The honey walnut shrimp and orange chicken was crispy and crunchy. The amazing seasonings of the beef and broccoli paired well with the fried rice and chow mein noodles. The noodles were cooked and I could taste the lack of msg seasonings compared to other similar restaurants. This is definitely our new favorite spot! The churros and sugar donuts are deep fried and melt in your mouth. Thank you for the great service, ambiance and amazing food! And for being so close to our apartment!

The matcha parfait was good with a nice creamy texture and flavoring. However, I have one complaint. When coming with two others where we are lactose sensitive and with one having an allergy to oats, they wanted to try the matcha latte's and we asked if they can make with almond milk . The female worker said they don't have almond milk and only do oat or whole milk which was odd, and I asked again to confirm and was told no. They ended up having to do whole milk despite being lactose intolerant and was bothered. I look through here from comments by the owner saying that they CAN substitute with almond milk, which is confusing and a little annoying that we were told they don't substitute almond milk and was never told a reason why. That's one complaint for those who might be allergic to oat milk or are lactose sensitive: There is barely any option to accommodate and for that I give three stars. I probably would not come back again nor recommend because of the lack of accommodation for those who cannot have oat/almond milk. However despite that it is good to try once.

One of the girls came over right away to help clean everything up and was so nice about it. They even offered to make me a new drink, which I definitely wasn't expecting and really appreciated.

Some other spots in town have similar offerings and may be doing a better job at it. I ordered the J2. Jumbo Pomelo & Mango with Sago ($13.95) to share in our group. There was a wide variety of ingredients, generally tasting quite good. The actual mango fruit was soft and super sweet, there was perhaps a coconut jelly topping that was also nice, as well as a coconut ice that felt snowy in texture, a mango custard, and a decent helping of sago near the bottom. However, I wish that the mango ice cream wasn't so hard and icy, and I was disappointed later to realize that we didn't get any pomelo at all. I really enjoyed the pomelo the last time I had a similar dessert. The dining area did seem pretty clean at least, and they offered complimentary cups of water for each of us after I requested it. Napkins are cheap but freely available, and spoons are pretty sturdy despite being disposable plastic. Maybe I'll come back to this Hui Lau Shan location if I'm around Spring Mountain and find myself really craving their brand of desserts. But I'd prioritize different businesses if I were planning a trip.

Reviews of this Korean coffee shop were impressive enough for us to give it a try. This "hidden" coffee shop had "speakeasy" vibes as it was a bit hard to find. Online photos led us to a massive, unmarked medieval-style wooden door with an "open" banner. Definitely don't judge a book by its cover as the interior featured antique furniture, a glass atrium, soaring trees, and a 3-level wooden bookshelf-reading area designed like a grandstand with seating you could climb on. I suggest staying here awhile and enjoy the F&D inside as it is definitely social media worthy and a gem in LV's Chinatown. After saving our spot, the gang proceeded to order from the long queue at the bar area. Took photos and marveled at this cozy cafe while waiting for our assortment of coffees and baked goodies to arrive. I had The Gäbi (dry cappuccino topped with raw sugar and espresso grounds) while my wife opted for the velvety Einspänner. We shared a Berry Ricotta Brioche. I was able to taste the other artisan pastries (Ube Mille Cake, Tiramisu Croissant and Strawberry Shortcake to name some) from our group and they were as good as they looked. The only complaint is the pricier bill than what other coffee shops might charge. I guess this view is at a cost then. First time trying in a Korean coffee shop and we loved it! We would definitely return if we're in this neck-of-the-woods again.

We specifically wanted to stay off the Strip because Vegas prices on the Strip can be pretty wild, so we found this place through Yelp. The space is really cute and has a cool industrial feel, with books and other little touches that make it more interesting than your typical dessert spot. They even had a couch swing, which turned out to be a lifesaver when my toddler was getting a little cranky. The desserts were good, but I have to say the prices felt pretty steep for the portions -- around $12-$13 for a very small slice. We tried an ube dessert and a matcha dessert. The matcha one was definitely my favorite. It had this interesting French-style flavor/profile and felt more unique. The ube one was just okay for me. And as a Filipino, I have to be honest: putting ube in something doesn't automatically make it amazing. I feel like sometimes ube gets treated as the magic ingredient when it's really about how well it's actually executed. Overall, I'd give it 4 stars. It's a cute place, the atmosphere is fun, and it served exactly what we needed that day -- a casual little birthday-weekend dessert stop somewhere away from the Strip. I'm glad we found it, but given the prices and portion sizes, I'm not sure it would be a regular stop for us.

However, I do want to clarify one very important point regarding my service dog. He was calm, quiet, and completely under control throughout the entire visit. He was not active, disruptive, or vocal at any time. He is a trained service dog, not a pet. I also want to clarify that under the ADA, a person with a service dog cannot be required to sit outside simply because they are accompanied by a service animal. Service dogs are generally permitted to accompany their handlers in areas where customers are normally allowed. A service animal may only be excluded in limited circumstances, such as when the animal is out of control and the handler does not take effective action, or when the animal is not housebroken. Neither of those circumstances applied here. So while I understand your policy regarding active or vocal dogs, that does not describe my dog or what happened during my visit. He was calm and caused no disturbance whatsoever. I sincerely hope your staff can be better informed about the distinction between pets and service animals so that another customer with a legitimate service dog is not made to feel unwelcome or told they MUST sit outside.
